I am running an Apple TV with OSMC 2017-01-1 (for Crystal HD decoder card support) and the latest available Plex add-on (Plex for Kodi 0.1.3). I am able to connect to my Plex server and login, but when I select a video, it throws a 400 BAD_REQUEST error.
I’m just curious if anyone knew of any workaround or way to get it to work.
I doubt it. There have been changes over the years to Plex server that broke the old clients and I seriously doubt anyone backported that to anything that will run on Kodi v17. Plex for Kodi doesn’t even work anymore on current setups.
I suppose it would be a heavy lift to port a newer version or something like plexmod from later OSMC versions to Kodi 17, right?
I’m not a programmer, but I assume so. Also, asking someone who is volunteering their time to support something so old and that few users would even use it is a pretty big ask. Plex themselves haven’t put out a Kodi addon in years. The dev behind plexmod had actually been the one maintaining and updating the “official” add-on that you find in Kodi’s repo and IIRC last year posted that he wasn’t doing it any more as it was too much time and effort for something inferior/outdated to his Plexmod fork. You might browse through his thread on Kodi and/or Plex forum about the older version of Plexmod.
